There was a small fire in our apartment building a few months ago. The alarms went off in the middle of the night, and all the residents of the building swarmed out into the cold dark . It wasn't a major fire--it affected only the kitchen of one apartment nowhere near ours--but to my 2-year-old son, it was heaven on earth. For a solid hour he was surrounded by big, red firetrucks and big, strong firefighters. What could be better?!? It was truly a dream come true for him. Thanks for sharing the story. It’s so true.

I grew up in New Jersey and spent a lot of time at the shore. I'm new to this site and yours was the first story that I read through. I'm hoping to submit an article or two here... I have been writing for awhile but have not had the nerve to try to be published yet. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration and the images of the boardwalk at night. I really liked your story.
